I wouldn't be able to do it NOW for several reasons you listed. But after my injury I finished high school, went to a CC with my 1st semester being part time to SEE what I could handle. Kinda baby pre-requisete classes at a Community Colleges so I went full time after my 1st semester. Had a couple night classes (like Anatomy & Physiology I & II) and those are kinda cool cuz it's only ONE evening of the week -- 3 hours. Rather than other classes that are either M-W-F or Tues & Thurs.
After finishing my two year stint at our local CC I immediadely transferred to our local 4-yr University and easily transferred my credits toward my "degree" (B.S. in Business and Liberal Studies) so I only had 2 more years of classes (full time to do that) to complete my* baccalaureate.* Then went to work and did so for 7 yrs till syingomyelia got the best of me and I retired very early. Pain, lack of endurance, yada yada yada.. No regrets so I suggest any newer quads to pursue college when younger and it's also easier to learn & digest classes when younger too. The brain is still "new" per se. It gets harder to retain info as one gets older. Not in ALL cases as my sister knows some folks 55 or 60+ working on their PhDs. But they prolly got all their college work done pre-family obligations, etc. And PhD folks get paid for PhD work (it IS coursework but also a job) via stipends, etc. And I recall my colleges having free classes to 55 or 60+ old poops. Hmmmmmmmmmmm. LOL Since I stopped working I've had an obsession with reading more and knowing more on any subject. I was thinking abt taking a local class on one thing or another but I'm too busy as it is.
